This has to be the most anticipated tomato of the year. I couldn’t be more thrilled to be the one to introduce this tomato to the United States. This is the absolute essence of what a black tomato should be. It has one of the best flavors of anything in the dark category. This was THE favorite of the year.
Beautiful purple and pink anthocyanin rich 2 to 3 ounce tomatoes. The pictures really speak for this one. I was reluctant to release this tomato because it might still segregate for size. genetics has a lot to do with good old fashion math. Getting a tomato segregated out to a true breeding open pollinated selection is all about numbers.
Another one of the standouts in the garden this year and in years past. The way this tomato is lobed it looks just like an apple. Rich dark color and outstanding smoky black taste. I should have planted more. Black apple is not just pretty, it has outstanding flavor as well. These 4 to 6 ounce shiny black beauties are productive strong growers.
Ridiculously good, earthy, smoky tomato flavor. Chocolate is rich and complex. This Russian black tomato is one of the best ones out there. It produces big crops of nice size mostly 8 ounce tomatoes on very strong plants. Makes some of the best single variety salsa you will ever eat. This is truly one of my favorites.
Indian stripe is originally from South Arkansas and had been known for years as “Indian Zebra” by it’s original grower, Clyde Burson. Mr. Burson was nice enough to share his personal seeds with others and along the way the name became Indian Stripe. We are actually glad for the name change since just about any tomato with a stripe has “zebra” stuck in the name.
Carbon has been around long enough to have its own following and you can count me in on that number. This one has been on my favorites list for several years and it consistently performs well in my Southern garden. Carbon should be on the top of everyone’s list. One of the best black tomatoes out there.
This is an outstanding black purple tomato. Just the right amount of sweet and sour to make it perfectly balanced. Strong grower and very productive. Hayley’s Purple Comet is just plain delicious.
Wow! What a beauty of a tomato. We are proud to be the first to introduce seeds for this fine tomato to the United States. These seeds came out of the Russian tomato breeding program and they really fill a void. Very dark round fruit about the size of a Quarter. Rich smoky black tomato flavor with a hint of sweetness.
This is a new variety from Russia with oblong plum shaped brown 3 to 4 ounce fruit with greenish shoulders. You will not believe the production. I actually got tired of picking them. They came on early and went until the frost took them out. They look good in salads, they make great sauce and they have that great complex flavor only found in black tomatoes.
